Very proud to be recognised for our child first, trauma informed service that delivers for victims too. Team effort from many people and partners over several years 👏@AssnYOTmanagers @CheshireEast @WarringtonBC @HaltonBC @cheshirepolice @Go_CheshireWest @CheshirePCC

At @YJServices, we could not deliver our service to the children of #Cheshire without the support & dedication of our #volunteers.
On #VolunteerDay, we are resharing words of appreciation for the volunteers from the team.

We’re looking for new trustees and we know that lived experience of the youth justice can make an important contribution to our board this is why we welcome applications from diverse backgrounds, including those with criminal records.

When we think about anxiety in children, we often picture lots of worrying. But anxiety can show up in so many different ways.
💡 WholeHearted School Counseling
ALT Infographic titled 'What Anxiety Looks Like in Kids' by WholeHearted School Counseling, featuring two circle diagrams. The first circle, labeled 'What kids think anxiety looks like,' contains one section with the text 'Lots of Worrying.' The second circle, labeled 'How kids feeling anxiety show it,' is divided into eight sections with various behaviors such as 'Negative Thinking,' 'Distracted Easily,' and 'Lots of Worrying.'
Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed.
There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence. Not now. Not ever.

In our latest blog Board member @LouiseShorter19 catches up with @NealHazel to discuss all things #ChildFirst. ✍

The theme of #InternationalMensDay is positive role models.
One of those role models is @rickyotto67, a practitioner from @walsallyjs. He chats with YJB Board member @jacobsakil on the value of mentors & role models for Black boys in the YJS. 🌟

Depriving a child of their liberty should be the last resort. My report today reveals the extent of challenges children under a deprivation of liberty order have told me they face - too many are voiceless, without a say in decisions made about their care: childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…
On #InternationalMensDay, shout out to our male colleagues in @YJServices, and all the other men out there, supporting children in our youth justice system.
To all the men role modelling positive masculinity 💙

"There is a declining picture in the secure estate for children as shown in @HMIPrisonsnews’s Children in Custody Report today. Sadly, this is not one that can be fixed overnight and there are many contributors at play."

We are proud to be part of this Pilot aimed at changing the way children are treated in police custody by cutting detention rates, their time in custody, and reducing the number of charges—encouraging a #ChildFirst approach. #YouthJustice @MOPACLdn @lccsa @YPATweet @mediate_kate @metpoliceuk
As part of remembering #Brianna, our RJ team wore pink in their meeting. This was in support of the campaign by Brianna's mother, Esther, on what would have been Brianna's 18th birthday.

Given the #riots cases coming through the courts at the moment it was perfect timing for a sentencing training including an overview of the new early release provisions alongside a focus on knife offences
